Café Helen vs Slemani!

This post is going to be a face-off of sorts, between two establishments situated on Edgeware Road, London. A little bit about Edgeware Road first. It’s a long stretch of road in London, which plays host to many Middle Eastern restaurants, cafés and shisha parlours. Dubai-ans will feel a little at home there with many-a-sign…

Falafels: Veg Hummus House

      View Slideshow Download full size (619 KB) This is the branch of Falafels in Colaba. I tried it out but wasn’t highly impressed: falafels were too dry and there was something about the taste that put me off…simply can’t put my finger to it. I think people used to the quality and…

Nandos in Sheffield

I went in for my usual: chicken pitta with pineapple and cheese with a side order of chips. Flavour? Hot please. Ended it with a mango and passion cheesecake with cream. T’was good. As always. My friend went for the Chicken Burger with pineapple and a side order of corn on a cob (there are…

Their official website gives you an idea of the varied and interesting events that occurred over the course of the festival. When I went to the city centre, I observed a bustling…

Chocolate cheesecake

I went with a group of friends to The Cavendish, a pub in Sheffield. My friend ordered their chocolate cheesecake. It looked amazing. And she said it tasted as good as it looked!

Ruby Tuesday

The first time I went to this restaurant was about 2 months ago. Their starter plate was quite good, although the buffalo wings were dripping in sauce more than necessary. On the topic of buffalo wings, I have a story to share: Friend: Oh I won’t eat the buffalo wings. You have them. Me: Oh?…
